Berlin, Apr 1, IRNA -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced hope that a compromise would be reached later Wednesday in talks between six world powers and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program.




'I hope and I wish that a compromise will be reached today that corresponds to the conditions we have set - namely that Iran gets no access to nuclear weapons,' Merkel said at a press conference with the Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev in Berlin.



All sides had made a lot of progress, she added, but 'such negotiations only come to an end if there is agreement on all points.'

Merkel pointed out that she was in constant contact with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier who was updating her on the state of negotiations in Lausanne, Switzerland.
